Additional Ingredients

Notes

• Use cold juice to bloom the gelatin properly before mixing with hot liquid.
• Choose 100% natural fruit juice without added sugars for a healthier gummy.
• Adjust honey quantity if you prefer a less sweet or more sweet gummy.
• Ensure the mixture is fully combined to avoid lumps of gelatin.
• Refrigeration time is important for proper setting – do not rush it.
• Store gummies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
• Gelatin source is animal-based; substitute with agar-agar for a vegetarian version but note the setting properties will differ.
